“A lot of the policies that we have put in place has kind of helped lead the devastation in Venezuela and we have sort of set the stage for where we are arriving today,” she told PBS' "Democracy Now!"

“This particular bullying and the use of sanctions to eventually intervene and make regime change really does not help the people of countries like Venezuela and it certainly does not help and is not in the interest of the United States," she added.

Omar's comments came as the administration struggled to handle the crisis in Venezuela where both Russia and Cuba attempted to exert influence over the potential transfer of power from dictator Nicolas Maduro to opposition leader Juan Guaido.

"I don’t believe that interventions that are pushing for regime change are in the best interest of Venezuela and the best interest of the American people."

Trump's administration has emphatically thrown his support behind Guaido's movement while both national security adviser John Bolton and Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. have indicated that military intervention was still on the table.
